re: #739 Stonemason

No, I am being told that my truck contributes to global warming and that I should get a new one. My lonely truck will not emit nearly as much carbon as 1/10th of 1% of the carbon emitted to get one delegate to this sham. Yes, I said sham, these conferences are about power, not about doing anything substantial, if they were about ‘change’ teleconference would suffice.

I don’t know who told you to get rid of your truck, but if a older, gas guzzler, getting rid of a few million of them in the next decade will help.

I drive a few older Studebaker’s a few 100 miles a year, so I’m guilty too. If we had millions of 17 MPG Studebaker’s we’d have a Studebaker problem. The global warming trip is a drop in the bucket compared to the carbon we’ll be saving if we keep moving toward more fuel efficient vehicles.
